Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for

household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized

plug. This type of plug has one blade wider

than the other. The plug will fit into an

electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety

feature intended to help reduce the risk of

electrical shock. If you are unable to insert

the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a

qualified electrician to replace the obsolete

outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug by modifying

the plug in any way.

If a longer cord is necessary, an approved

extension cord may be used. The electrical

rating of the extension cord must be equal to

or greater than the rating of the Allergen

Reducer. Care must be taken to arrange the

extension cord so that it will not drape over

the countertop or tabletop where it can be

pulled on by children or accidentally tripped

over. Route the electrical or extension cord

clear of furniture to prevent damage from

pinching.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

In order to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury or damage to property,

follow these instructions carefully. When using electric appliances, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

objects

on the

Allergen

electrical outlet where it is out of

the way. Make sure that the Allergen

adequate air circulation.

Reducer before moving or servicing

it, or if it will not be used for several

days.

• Route the electrical cord clear of

furniture to prevent damage from

pinching the cord.

About Your Allergen Reducer

How the Allergen Reducer filters air:

1. A fan draws air through the intake

grille on the front of the Allergen

Reducer. Then it passes through the

filter which traps large allergen

particulates.

2. The filtered air is then released

through the outlet grille on the top

of the unit.

NOTE: The filter is designed to filter

allergens.
